(WHICH" AND "ANARCHlST."
Lawful Murder With the Faggot and
the Rope.

History relates that in Massachu-
sets, men, women and sometimes
children were hanged and burned
at the stake, charged with being
witches. So-called unprejudiced
juries and impartial judges found
these people guilty Gas charged in
the Indictment. The charge of
the Judge was often ponderous, if
not wonderfully wise. Records of
past ages were ransacked for prece-
dent and law. These were, as Il
matter of course, found for what
has not been done in the name of
the law?
The press of that day applau1ed
the wisdom of the judge, and the
frmness Of the jury. Public APP
plause waited upon the prosecuting
attorney. The opinion of the ''lead-
ing citizens" sustained the finding of
the jury, and all good society rejoiced
in the:fact that "here in America"
witchcraft was to be stamped out"
and an example set to the rest of the
world of how these disturbers of So
ciety could be exterminated. Even
the pulpit of those times wed with
the press in their praise of wise
juries and stern judges, and rejoiced
that devils, which they were unable
to cast out, were to be killed.
Governors, too. in those days of
illegal triumph" were appealed to
for clemency for poor, mistaken and
falsely-accused humanity. Cover
nors in those days had "back- bone"
to withstand the pleadings Of those
who believed that clemency ought to
be extended, and steeled their hearts
against the tears of mothers, brothers
and children, and "grandly upheld
the majesty of the law" by refusal
OF mercy.
1t was then that all good citizens
boosted of the "majesty of the law"
and prated about "stern justice" and
rejoiced in the fact that from con-
stable to governor each and all had
done well his part in bringing wicked
witches to ''justice."
Indeed, Massachusetts of that day
was proud of her achievements and
glored in her proud position among
her sister colonies. Massachusetts
of to-day is far more proud of her
brutal Sullivans than she is of her
once judges. Indeed, she would
like to forget the now dark stain on
her past history. Shame has taken
the place eff pride, and silence better
fills the place of boasting of her
shame.
Illinois of to-day hangs anarch-
lists. All society applauds her. The
praises Massachusetts heaped on her
officials for their part in the burning
of witches is lavished on our repre-
sontatives of law.
Change the time and place, and
change the charge of witch-craft to
that of anarchy" and the history
OF these times and that will exactly
coincide.
What will history say for Illinois?
What will it say for our wise men of
to-day? Our history is made. We
must meet it. Read the history of
Massachusetts. Reflect on what that
OF Illinois must be. -American SOL
dier IN Chicago Enquirer.

ton Union has learned lesson from
their defeat by the lawyers. They,
at least, should support a radical
movement whose success would be
their victory. They spent much
money in getting the law passed, and
the lawyers overthrow their work
with Il breath.

A SOCIALIST MARCHING SONG.
II. HALLIDAY Sparkling.
To the tune Of "Garryoren.'

10 me tune Of "Gdr1yOWen."
Come all, brave lads, and loudly sing,
The Red Flag to the sky we fling,
We care no rap for priest or king,
The Peoples day is coming;
Too long the wolves of capital
Have drunk our blood and filched our all.
But from their power they'll have to fall,
The Peoples day is coming.
Chorus:
Above all colors exalt the red,
1t fills tyrant heart with dread,
And while it proudly floats oerhead,
Advance the Men of Labor.
We've had the husks and they the grain,
They the pleasure and we the pain,
Wen toll no longer for their gain
But make them earn living;
The idler fat and the worker lean,
This is the way that things have been,
But from the beggar unto the queen,
All soon must earn their living.
No more shall men with arms arrayed
Against their fellow-men parade,
Wen stop the soldiers dreadful trade,
and men shall be as brothers;
As soon as freedom has been won,
Away shall 90 the sword and gun,
There's nothing with them to be done.
When men shall be all brothers.
Wen hear the wise and help the fool,
And put the idlers all to school,
Until they learn the golden rule.
To do as they'd be done by.
NTH stern resolve into the fray.
We go to sweep the wrong away,
To bring the brighter, better day,
And do as we'd be done by.

FORWARD !
tomorrow, 1888.

Tomorrow, 1888.
The "thin, red line" has withstood
another years onslaught.
As the hours truce permits the
smoke Of battle to lift, anxious and
curious chances are turned upon the
fighters; aye, and calm, confident
gIanccs, also.
The line has advanced
Strength to thcanxious. SatIsfac-
ton to the curious. TO the conf
dent, the mark Of time.
And the fighters? And the foes?
The fighters know no trucc--thcy
work Their enemies are enjoying
themselves.
And the people? They sleep!
Another day and another night,
and then the turmoil begins anew.
Where will the fighters be when
the veil lifts again?
May our wishes be prophetic !!
Another advance Descrtions from
the enemy. The people awake-how
can they sleep? To sleep is to die.
May the thousands who joined in
the labor movement during the past
two Years not be discouraged because
Of the rcycrscs that bcfcll them
through incompetent or dishonest
leaders. May they learn the lesson
experience has taught, that the rank
and file must lead in the movement
for labor's cmanci patton.
May the light Of knowledge shcd
its rays among the tollcrs, and show
them the way that leads to freedom
-co-operatlon.
May the toilcrs come to hate tn,
chains that bind them, and know
the hands that placed those chain,
upon them, May they see their owl
mistakes and avoid them in future.
May the people have confidence il
themselves; may they depend upon
their own intelligent reasoning and
view with suspicion the cunning pro.
testations of good will made by THEN
explolters. May supersttlon's power
be broken and Reason prevail.
Then will come Unity, and then
will come Victory.

most part conservatives, and have
about the same knowledge Of labor
matters, save that the trades union
lists are more cOnycrsant with Organl-
ation and matters pertaining to
their respective trades; but this is
undoubtedly owing the greater age
Of the trades unions. We may, then,
find no cause for difference among
the masses in the two bodies.
The Knights Of Labor organization
is controlled from the centre; so are
most Of the old-fashioncd trades
unions. Representative government
or legislative action is common to
both. Recently, however, the So
cialist lcavcn has been seen to oper-
ate The submission Of laws to the
general membership has been prac-
tically introduced into some of the
trades unions, especially where the
German element is in the asccndancy.
The Knights of Labor, also, have
adopted the general referendum, on
paper at least, but it has not been
supplemented by proper laws nor
strengthened by usage, to make it
efficient. The adoption Of the refer
cndum, however, is one Of the sig
niticant signs of IN awakening Of
democracy.
The desire for political activity
seems to have developed equally
among the membership of both the
trades unions and the X. of l.. in
the larger cities; though in the small
cr towns the members Of the X. Of
l.. organization seem to have been
more active in politics.
Politically, then, the masses in
both organizations seer. to Lave even
aspirations. Another sign.
In spite of the natural develop
ment of the workers, socially and po-
litically they have been unable to
give effective expression to their evl-
dent desires. There must be some
reason for this. Let rs investigate.
As in society at large there is II
satisfied class and dissatisfied class,
SO inside the organizations, there are
the satisfied and the dissatisfied.
And as in society at large the dissat-
isfcd and ignorant form by far the
greater portion, so inside the organl-
cations they are also the most numcr-
Gus; and mark the likeness, also;
the ruling class in both eases are

NJ. w." and the members of the EX-

voted an increased salary, by the
convention. In both the assem-
bIies and the trades unions, the
plausible, and in many eases even,
correct, argument is made that it has
been deemed wise to continue the
former incumbents in office, and
thus the satisfied class within Organ
lied Iabor's ranks is formed. In an
emergency these officers are called
upon to confer with one another

in the Election Conspiracy Case.

In response to the order OF Judge Woods

Ing the election tally-sheets last November, to
plead TO the indictment, yesterday, Attorneys
Duncan and Smith appeared for all the eleven
defendants. Henry y. Spaan. Charles N. Met

sheir ATTORNEYS, the presence of Coy. Bern

was hardly necessary until the first steps in the
defense had been taken in moving to quash the
Indictment
Judge Woods told the defendants lawyers
that it at first thought the cases could not
be tried before November. A press of business
however, made IL necessary to try them an
EARLIER date. He would like TO have them set
for the latter part of July. but he would not in

Mr. Smith said that he had m ade arrangements
for his simmer vacation during July, with the
understanding thar the trials woulc not occur
until November. Mr.. Duncan asked to have

judge aid not think proper to recede
altogether from his purpose as TO the time OF
trial, although he did not specify any date. He
would insist on the arragnment and the plead

PERFECTING THEIR ORGANIZATION.
What Was Done by the State Assembly of the
Knights of Labor Yesterday.

Quite a number of representative knights of
Labor from different sections of the State came
to the city yesterday morning. and when the
second days session OF the State assembly
opened seventy I've delegates were present. The
committees appointed at the previous days ses-
sion reported, and their reports were ordered
placed on Ale
The committee on state Of the order reviewed
the growth of the order in this State. Flour
ishlng assemblies have been organized In every
locality where there are sufficient number of
laborine men. For the future the outlook was
pronounced promising. Applications for char
ters are being received faster than the organ
lzers can establish the assemblies
The committee on ways and means also sub
mitted a report
A part of the forenoon and nearly all the
afternoon session was taken up in discussing and
adopting the bylaws The rules adopted do not
differ materially from those governing the other
State assemblies of the couatry.
Mrs. Patterson. the general organizer and
State lecturer of Illinois, occupied ar hour in the
afternoon with address on what the order was
accom- 1shing. She related at length her ex-
perience as an organizer In convincing working
women that they would better their condition by
uniting under the K of L. charter. The work
ing women of Illinois, she said, had bettered
their condition 100 per cent. since they had be-
gun to organize. Hundreds of women who for
merly earned but q mere pittance had become
me nc bers OF cooperative companies, and were
making money. The women of the country. she
thought. needed to organize more than men, for
the reason that those of them who have to earn
their living poorer paid and worse treated
than men.
The members of the assembly deny that there
was any open fight made against the admission
OF F. J. S Robinson, of Clay county, on account
of ais treachery to the Labor party in the sena-
passed declaring that they had no thought of
taking such action. Whether or not the ques-
ton of admitting him came before the assembly
IL is a fact that many of tho delegates. and es
pecialy those from this city. did object to his be-
ing taken into full fellowship, and are not
pleased because he was.
The question of Endorsing the Union Labor
party will not come up, as some supposed. Poll
tics will not be mentioned" said Secretary CRU
ellis last night 'for the that it cannot be.

how its mel bers shall affiliate politically"

The Democracy of Indiana is fortunate in hav-
